What about movies like “The Beach” and “Nice Dreams” where they actually show marijuana plants growing? Do they have stand-in plants that look like marijuana plants as well?
Oleander, a common shrub in California can look suspiciously like marijuana. A boy I went to school with brought some in a baggie for use in a project on drugs and almost got himself arrested for possession. (The bag with powdered sugar “cocaine” didn’t help much.)
There are also silk plants that can simulate pot, at least for the purposes of moviemaking.

And in the recent British comedy “Saving Grace”, actual herbals were used. The British Museum of Natural Sciences (or some title to that effect) lent the moviemakers a bunch of the greene queene to film with, although the set had to be under supervision, and the plants had to be locked up by the local police at the end of every day.
sigh.
it’s just a plant, you anal-retentive bastards.

How many teens will have to be machine gunned by Bruce Willis before they begin to realize that it is a dangerous drug!?!
There used to be an X…but it was changed to NC-17 after X became synonomous with pornography. IIRC, the first film to have an NC-17 rating was “Henry and June.”
